Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification, in which the figure is a perspectiveview of our new and improved ornamental candlestick.

A represents a standard of wire, bent at the lower end to form the arm B, on which is placed the plate 0, which has secured to its center a socket or the fingers a a, for holding the candle D. In line with the candle D is secured to the standard A thereflector E, and above the reflector the standard A is bent to form the loop or hook F, for attaching the candlestick to the limb of a tree or other support. From the loop F the standard is extended upward and bent at b, and again at c, to form the upwardly-projecting extension (1. Upon this is placed the wind-wheel G, which is held in the upward current of air from the candle and caused to constantly revolve, thus giving the candlestick a very striking and handsome appearance.

Having thus fully described our invention, we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- In a candlestick, the wire A, bent at its lower end to form the supportingarm B, and bent near its upper end to form the loop Rand also bent above said loop, as atb c, to form the extension (Z, in combination with the reflector E, secured to said wire below the loop, and the pin-wheel G, pivoted upon the extension d, substantially as described.
